11 Shocking Returns Fast and Furious Fans Need to See Now

212 views • 4 years ago

It’s a very big year for The Fast and the Furious series, which is simultaneously celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of the first film, the 15th anniversary of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the 10th anniversary of Fast Five, and the debut of the brand new ninth film, F9. The Fast series has taken an unusual path through the years compared to many other franchises, both in how it became a much larger, global box office sensation several films in, and in how it took quite awhile for it to be clear just how surprisingly complex and intertwined its mythology would become and how much it would lean on characters from the past – albeit with a few retcons along the way. At this point, it feels like any and everyone who’s ever been in these films could come back – even if they previously appeared to die. Indeed, F9 features several prominent returns, first and foremost Han (Sung Kang), who was seemingly killed off in Tokyo Drift. Han’s not the only Tokyo Drift character in the film either, which also features Sean Boswell (Lucas Black, who previously briefly returned in Furious 7), Twinkie (Shad “Bow Wow” Moss), and Earl Hu (Jason Tobin), the latter two having not been seen in the franchise for 15 years. So who else could and should come back? We look at some potential characters below, along with thoughts and the top poll results from Fandom’s The Fast and the Furious Wiki community on who they’d like to see again. A couple notes: We decided to mostly leave out characters who at the moment are listed as dead (but again, Letty Ortiz and Han tell us never say never) or anyone who has been seen in the last couple of films and instead focus more on folks who’ve been gone for quite awhile. But Hector, it was great to see you at the Race Wars in Furious 7!
